AMARC STAKES COPPER-GOLD PORPHYRY DEPOSIT TARGETS
IN CARIBOO REGION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA

May 11, 2004, Vancouver, BC - Ronald W. Thiessen, President and CEO of Amarc Resources Ltd. (TSX Venture:AHR) is pleased to announce it has recently staked six new copper-gold porphyry targets in south-central British Columbia. The targets range from early-stage exploration anomalies, recently released as part of a BC government airborne geophysical survey (under the Rocks to Riches program), to intermediate level exploration projects with substantial historical geochemical and geophysical anomalies.
 
Five of the properties (Hook, Jim, Orr, Crystal and Sky) were staked to cover magnetic and/or radiometric anomalies from government airborne surveys in the Cariboo region. Two of these properties (Orr and Crystal) were originally identified by previous work in 1990 to exhibit large aeromagnetic anomalies that are similar in shape and size to anomalies associated with alkaline copper-gold deposits such as Copper Mountain, Mount Polley and Mount Milligan (see British Columbia Government Assessment Reports 20507, 20557). Open-ended induced polarization chargeability anomalies have been established on these two properties by earlier operators, with no record of follow-up on these attractive targets. All five properties are underlain by volcanic and sedimentary rocks in the vicinity of intrusive stocks which is the geological setting for the major copper-gold porphyry mines of British Columbia.
 
A sixth property (Spius) is located in the Nicola region near Merritt and covers an extensive (500 m x 600 m) open-ended copper-in-soil anomaly with associated molybdenum values. The soil anomaly is located near two large (500 m x 1200 m) induced polarization chargeability anomalies. Very limited previous drilling on the property did not test the copper-in-soil anomaly.
 
Amarc plans to advance these projects to the drill ready stage over the next several months - with drilling expected to follow.
